Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 74: Just a hair's breadth away from losing twenty million!

Upon hearing these words, Jin Yuanyuan felt utterly heartbroken. She stared at Officer Li for a long time, speechless, her fingers red from the splashed hot water, yet she felt nothing.

Officer Li immediately opened the office door and called his colleague to bring in some burn ointment.

Zhao Zhuoran and Cao Xiaoyu, who had been sitting by the door, stood up nervously. Because Officer Li and Jin Yuanyuan were considered to be assisting with the investigation, these two were not allowed to enter.

The Economic Crime Investigation Department floor was still quite lively. Although there were signs saying "Keep quiet, no noise," those who had been scammed were still crying and making a scene, expressing how wronged they were and how wicked and rampant the scammers were. People like Jin Yuanyuan, who remained silent, were truly in the minority.

Cao Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhuoran acted in unison, both reaching out to check Jin Yuanyuan's burns. Officer Li kept apologizing, saying he hadn't thought things through and had only intended to pour Jin Yuanyuan a glass of water.

Jin Yuanyuan realized what had happened and said very politely, "It's alright, it's alright, it was my own carelessness."

A policewoman brought some burn ointment to apply to Jin Yuanyuan. Jin Yuanyuan looked down at her fingers and said, "Oh, it's just red, nothing serious."

The policewoman applied a thin layer of the ointment, glanced at Officer Li again, and then left.

The burn ointment had a cooling effect, which relieved the pain of the burn and also made Jin Yuanyuan more alert.

At this moment, Officer Li cautiously asked Jin Yuanyuan, "You and Zhang Dali have nothing going on, right?"

"No, no, it was my first love, it was a long time ago." Jin Yuanyuan even laughed, her expression much more normal. "Officer Li, I was a little confused just now, I really didn't react. Because today I really thought it was just signing a loan agreement."

Since Jin Yuanyuan was alright, Officer Li asked Cao Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhuoran to continue waiting at the door, while he closed the door and asked Jin Yuanyuan to recount the whole incident from beginning to end.

Jin Yuanyuan thought about it carefully. It all started with her wanting a bank loan, then Zhang Dali appeared with his colleagues, and they kept reminiscing about old times while dragging his feet on getting her the loan, all while encouraging her to create her own unique brand. Later, when she urgently needed to expand her brand and lacked funds, she turned to Zhang Dali again. Only then did Zhang Dali mention some problems with the bank loan, but that he could resolve them… Things seemed to have progressed smoothly, and if she had actually signed the papers and gotten the loan, Jin Yuanyuan would have been grateful for Zhang Dali's hard work. She was truly a classic case of a fool who sold herself out and then helped him count the money.

After listening, Officer Li criticized and educated Jin Yuanyuan, saying sternly, "There are quite a few people these days who use the guise of 'white moonlight' or 'first love' to swindle money. Back then, it was first love, mutual affection, and we were young and didn't have any bad intentions. Now, especially since you haven't seen your first love for over ten years, and you've had absolutely no contact with him, how do you know how he's doing? What things or people has he encountered? Especially when it comes to money, you must be extra careful."

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right." Jin Yuanyuan quickly bowed her head in apology and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much, otherwise I would have jumped off a building too..."

"Oh, not really. You have to believe that we still have the ability to stop or recover it, especially with the internet being so advanced now, there's always a way."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jin Yuanyuan quickly nodded in agreement. "Thank you so much for helping me cut my losses in time. I really want to give you a banner of appreciation. Please wait a moment, I'll go out and make one right away."

"Oh, it's not that serious," Officer Li laughed. "You didn't suffer any loss, which saves us a lot of trouble. Just be more careful in the future, got it?"

"I've got it, I've got it." Jin Yuanyuan practically kowtowed to Officer Li; her attitude was impeccably good. Because her statement was considered that of a victim and that she hadn't been successfully scammed, she could serve as a witness in the case later. If needed, she could testify and write statements.

Officer Li asked Jin Yuanyuan to sign the printed statement. When Jin Yuanyuan picked up the pen, she hesitated for a moment, afraid that she would have a psychological trauma from signing her own name in the future.

Officer Li said to her, "You can read it once and see where there are any mistakes or anything, and then sign it. This is our procedure."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jin Yuanyuan quickly glanced through it again, then added, "Can I add a sentence?"

"Add what?" Officer Li asked.

"Because now I realize that from the very beginning he was encouraging me to expand production and increase the loan amount. It's obvious that he had already planned to deceive me when he saw me again. He's rotten to the core."

"Okay, you can write it down by hand." Officer Li approved the content.

After Jin Yuanyuan finished writing, she felt she should add another reason for their breakup: Zhang Dali was narrow-minded.

Officer Li was a bit speechless. "Well, actually, you don't have to write it down."

"No, I want to write it down." Jin Yuanyuan stubbornly added this sentence at the end. After adding several more sentences, she finally signed her name solemnly.

When she went out, Zhao Zhuoran and Cao Xiaoyu were nowhere to be found. Officer Li said that these two had filed a police report, and it was thanks to their report and the various clues they provided that the case was resolved so quickly. Therefore, these two should be in another room giving statements and signing documents; she could wait here for a while.

"Your two friends are really great. They're bold and careful, and they know a lot about you and Zhang Dali. They also know that you're not infatuated with Zhang Dali, but without them, who knows how far things would have gone."

"It's not that bad." Jin Yuanyuan thought for a moment. "I can still be attracted to Zhang Dali, but it's all in the past."

"It's good that you think that way."

Jin Yuanyuan watched Officer Li leave for another office before turning and leaving the police station, walking alone on the streets of Hangzhou. It was already evening, and the spring sunset wasn't particularly beautiful, even appearing as a rather bleak white light.

On the bustling streets of Hangzhou, the flow of people and vehicles intertwined, everyone busy moving forward, and no one noticed the tears on Jin Yuanyuan's face.

She hadn't cried like this in a long time; the tears just wouldn't stop, and she didn't know why at that moment.
